Abstract: Abstract W. H. AudenAuden, W.H. wrote a poem at the very start of the Second World WarSecond World War, looking back over the years preceding it. Entitled “September 1, 1939”, Auden plaintively recounts: “As the clever hopes expire/Of a low dishonest decade”, despite it all “We must love one another or die” (Auden,Auden, W.H. Auden, W. H. (1939). September 1, 1939. https://poemdujour.com/Sept1.1939.html ). This appeared a vain hope for Europeans at the time, just then embarking on another ruinous conflict, this time of unprecedented scale.
